SRU Justification
=================
[Impact]
- On i386 machines, plugging a headset with buttons in will crash an existing X
session or prevent an X session from starting.
+ On i386 machines, plugging a Logitech headset with buttons in will crash an
existing X session or prevent an X session from starting.
- [Stable Fix]
- The crash is due to an ABI mismatch between xserver-xorg-input-evdev and
xorg-server. A rebuild of the evdev input module fixes the issue.
+ The crash is due to a stack buffer overrun write that corrupts the
+ stack. This occurs because the buffer is not allocated with enough room
+ to hold records for all input device valuators when multitouch valuators
+ are present.
[Development Fix]
Rebuild will be pocket copied from Precise
[Test Case]
- Plug in a headset and see if X crashes.
+ Plug in the headset and see if X crashes. Alternatively, use utouch-evemu to
create a virtual headset using the attached Logitech_Wireless_Headset.prop file:
+
+ $ sudo utouch-evemu device Logitech_Wireless_Headset.prop
[Regression Potential]
- Practically zero.
+ The fix touches code that affects how input device axes are labelled. These
labels are used primarily for the GIMP and a few other drawing tools when using
a tablet drawing device. It is possible that a regression could occur, causing
the axes to not be labeled correctly.
